The 'Foundation case' leaves Messi pending prosecution

According to the ABC newspaper, Messi used his foundation to collect image rights without taxing them. According
to this newspaper, "Leo Messi, his father - Jorge Horacio - and his
brother Rodrigo manage a structure of companies and foundations to evade
the payment of taxes related to exploitation of the image of the
player. ABC,
who claims to have documents that prove his information, adds that "the
documents and testimonies consulted indicate that only a small part of
the money entered has been earmarked for social projects to help
children, the founding purpose of the footballer's NGO. In Spain it is mandatory to allocate 70 percent of the income, something that has not been fulfilled. "

Messi
is pending the execution of his sentence for the three tax offenses he
committed, according to the resolution of the Barcelona Court. Judge
Jesús Navarro is about to give the order to execute the provisions of
the Act. The prosecution has asked the player to pay a fine of 505,000
euros to avoid the 21 months in prison to which he was convicted, but
also that His or her background is kept for at least three years, in which
period of re-offending and being convicted would leave him with no
option to bargain for imprisonment.

Now,
after the ABC information, Messi risks a new complaint from the Tax
Agency, the State Attorney, the Prosecutor's Office or any anonymous
citizen, since judges can not open ex officio causes. But if any of these institutions see evidence of truth in what was published by ABC could trigger the procedure.
